Sanskrit Form in Urdu

Can you give examples from classic Urdu using these words, like references to some classic books or authors using such words in their works? Nirdosh you can often hear in Hindi films but never heard in Urdu.

For me these are Sanskritized Hindi words and might have never been used in Urdu.

How of much of pure Urdu is Sanskrit, Farsi, Dari, Pashto, Arabic???

does anyone have a break down?

Obviously Urdu is a Indian language, but I would like to know the influence of other languages on Urdu

Very beautiful & correct, thank you for posting such a thread, promote Sanskrit...jayatu samskritam sarvatra sada cha....

[Valujira]

My aim is not to promote Sanskrit [which is more or less a dead language now] but to promote Urdu and show how diverse the language by different borrowing May Allah help me in my efforts

Masha allah, I hope too... Urdu is just like Hindi, just like Dari, Tajik & Farsi are Persian - divided by politics.
C'mon...It is not THAT dead, we've a newspaper in Vadodara and other parts of India and Brahmins are talking and using it daily. It is one of the most important language a true languages-lover shall learn to some extent, it is the mother of languages and has also impact on Semitic languages, like Hebrew, Arabic, Geez, Amharic etc.. Just fantastic...

[Valujira]

To be honest, it is a dead language as in it is not spoken in daily convo but it is a language used for religion like Latin or Avestan, which is learnt and published in but not spoken in a normal environment.
Also with all due respect, we must not also forget the influence of Dravidian languages on Sanskrit, as the retro flex sounds like ण, ड etc etc,
We must not also forget the Devanagari script is descended from the Gupta Script which is descended from the Brahmi Script which is itself descended from the Aramaic alphabet [the Aramaic people being the Jews and Arabs]
We must hence acknowledge the oneness that exists in our languages and writing systems

But I agree with you Urdu is 100% like Hindi in grammar, the division is merely political influenced by narrow-mindedness on both sides

Yes! Another lango-guy...sweet
Indeed, Dravidian languages had and still today have some impact on the languages of these languages.
Of course Sanskrit is dead officially, but to me and to many others, she's not that dead, we still use it in classes, lectures, religion, newspaper etc. It's not like the hieroglyphs in Egypt, Sanskrit is much more widely used (but still dead).

One day I'll be able to write the above-mentioned in Pashto...mashaallah
